Thunder hoop 2 strikes back desuicide problem

[buenrip]

Hello, I tried to revive a suicide Gaelco Thunder hoop 2 pcb with the file for Dallas from mame's rom, the whole process went well, the pcb boots and shows the coprocessor OK, but the enemies don't show up in their place. I have tried with another PCB that worked fine (I have removed the battery to kill it and did the process) and it gives exactly the same error, so the problem is with the rom file, since I have killed a World rally with the same method and It works perfect. I wanted to know if someone has managed to do the process correctly with another file or to know if it exists. I look forward to your replies, as now I have 2 pcbs that are not working well. Thank you so much.

@ShootTheCore were you the one that mentioned how to fix this before or was it Apocalypse?

That was Apocalypse. I’ve never messed with these boards. Fun looking game though!

Thunder Hoop 2 and other Gaelco games need a different desuiciding process than World Rally.
You can read how to properly do it on my blog :

P.S.
I posted the same article also here :

I bought a Thunder hoop 2 some months ago and wasn't aware that they Suicide. Can you switch Batteries on those Boards if they currently still run or do you have to always desuicide them?

You can put another battery in parallel, then change the main one.

I got it recently and can confirm it's great fun. Worth a pick up if you can find it!
